Good luck for NYE WW - good times often come when least expected!

I knocked out a couple of races yesterday at Mallory race circuit that put me into the mid-60's:

1 mile @ 65.05%
10K @ 64.03%

Bit gutted with the 10K time (even though it was a SB by 10 seconds) as another 7 seconds would have got me that third 65% for the year and a corresponding '65' standard. Will have to settle with the 64 'Cape Hunting Dog' for 2019.

There's your target for 2020, Weath.

Well that's not a bad end to the year Weath.

I'm pleased to report that powered by sossidgz, sossidge rolls and red whine I managed a 62.95 WAVA at Ely NYE10k.

Conditions were excellent as were the sossidge rolls.

Well done on everyone managing to post a 60+ WAVA in 2019.

May 2020 have more reports of 60+ 'ers and also those that nearly miss. They are both immensely pleasing and dissatisfying enough to post about.

Nice work WW and a great way to sign off 2019.

You do now have me thinking more about food than 2020 targets however ... ! 😁

I got over 60 several times in 2019, with my three best all over 63. Been using the reverse calculator and I don't need to do *too* much more to push over 65

But you're a racing snake McG.

Us mortals thrash about for 60%+.

Managed 66 at 5k, 65 at 5 miles and 62 at my one and only 10k race.
I would have taken that at the beginning of the year. Well done everyone!

That is a great achievement GH59. Numbers I wish I could reach.

What really helped me of course was.... having a birthday in the middle of the year ;-)
